Being able to write again is
special, as there many days when I doubted whether I would ever be able to use
a pc again, it seemed for ages that this would be impossible.

My hands started losing some
functionality when we moved to this apartment in 2007,we had to, as I needed a lift to let me
go outside independently.

Without the help of the
mobility bus staff who carried me up, down the stairs in our previous
apartment, a scary experience, one I endured for a year.

There was no choice, either put
up with being carried or stay home all day and everyday, our apartment began to
feel like I was imprisoned in it, apart from medical
appointments.

Sadly when we had moved here
despite the lift, I could not go out on my own as I could not use the keys to open doors, the move was a
year too late for going out
independently. It was horrible losing the use of
my hands, first my right hand , my right index finger became floppy and
unusable to type or do anything, a sad moment.

One consolation was for awhile it
was still possible to use the mouse with my right hand and type with my left
index finger , voice recognition was good, it helped me post and send emails.

This worked well until my left
index finger also got too floppy to type with, luckily my little finger on my
left hand allowed me to open and close things, Dragon voice recognition did the
rest.

The Seetech pc did'nt work for
me, I thought all I needed was more instructions how to use it, finally
the supplier KesterenRtd Het Dorp agreed to visit again on 8th August this
year.

Their engineer stunned, Richie
and I by telling us that it was not possible to go online with the
Seetech as the software could not process passwords.

What a bombshell after more
than two years of being told I could go online and write blog posts, send
emails, visit other blogs and buy presents.

Turned out it was all lies,
when we said take the Seetech pc away it is useless, they told us about the
LipStick, so Richie bought it immediately, otherwise I would be still waiting.

When I got the message that a friend had problem accessing my blog, everytime she tried she was taken to this link:

http://neocounter.neoworx-blog-tools.net/

Richie tried to visit my blog he could get in until hursday when it became impossible, after some more research Richie discoved that http://neocounter.neoworx-blogtools.net/ were bankrupt and they had been hacked.

I signed into my blog and went to layout and deleted the neocounter then Richie asked friends on facebook to check if they could visit my blog without prolems.

It was good to know they could access my blog again, brilliant news.

Only thing I deled neocounter before seeing what the neocounter did, the important thing for me is that my blog has not been hijacked.

Some weeks ago I received this email, it is very interesting so today have decided to share it a blog post.
